Recommended Reading, Week 2

This week, I picked The Godfather by Mario Puzo. Although this is a look into the gritty underworld, it maintains a feeling that it is not evil, although the events certainly are. This is a dangerous book if put into the wrong hands, but an extraordinary read. Rating: A

Recommended Reading, Week 1

So, if you transferred over here from http://jbu92.zymichost.com/, here's the post continuing my old series.



This week, I picked Disclosure by Michael Crichton. This book was very thought-provoking on the subject of discrimination and harrassment. It raises questions about affirmative action and really makes you think, with twists and turns in every page. It does not contain boring passages like many books, where they describe something for ten pages and bore you out of your wits. This book is funny, entertaining, and a very good read. Rating: A

Self-Help And Group Psychology, Part I

So, why are so many people drawn to "badness"? Simply because that's what we laud. If you're worried about gruesome games' popularity, realize that as a society we are talking about the gruesome ideas more and more. To stop the increase in "badness", simply stop talking about it. Think about this: even though crime in America has been decreasing, many people think it is on the rise simply because it is given more airtime. I will be going into further detail in later posts.
